1 |Listen to this message that the LORD has spoken about you, people of Israel. It concerns the entire family that I brought from the land of Egypt: 2 You alone have I known from among all of the families of mankind; therefore I will hold you accountable for all your iniquities.'| 3 |Will a couple walk in unity without having met? 4 Will a lion roar in the forest without having found its prey? Will a young lion cry from its den without having caught anything? 5 Does a bird fall into a snare on the ground without any bait in the trap? Will a trap snap shut when there is nothing to catch? 6 And when an alarm sounds in the city, the people will tremble, won't they? If there is trouble in a city, the LORD has brought it about, has he not?| 7 |Truly the Lord GOD will do nothing he has mentioned without revealing his purposes to his servants the prophets.
